STOCKTON - A would-be robber pushed a cart full of groceries out of a store after threatening to shoot the store owner Sunday morning.

But the man fled without the cart, which he left behind the store in the 6300 block of Pacific Avenue at about 10:16 a.m. Sunday, according to Stockton police.

The store's owner told police the man filled up a cart full of food before asking the owner to open a door to the restroom.

The man then told the owner he planned to take the food. When the owner said he'd have to pay, the would-be robber pulled out a sawed-off shotgun or a rifle and threatened to shoot, according to police.

The owner pushed the gun away and fled out the front, while the man went out the back of the store. The cart was found out back, apparently with nothing missing.

The man was described as a black man in his late 20s, roughly 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing about 140 to 150 pounds and wearing a black shirt, white shoes and yellow, checkered shorts.
